Chicken Ravioli Primavera (6 Ww Points) image

This looks really good! I haven't made it yet but I hope to soon. UPDATE: 3-23-09 This is a keeper. Made with refrigerated spinach & ricota ravioli (thanks moms). I added mushrooms :), and of course extra garlic. I used pettie tomatoes instead of crushed and added italian seasoning. The taste of the sauce is great! it comes out very "saucy"
